Brobee's 50-4-50 rimfire challenge for 2022

[Butcherbill]

Great idea, I have an old tube fed pump .22 I’d love to try this with, just irons on the old girl.

Watching the video I took I shot all 50 rnds in 5 mins 43 seconds including reloading 1 mag as I only had 45 rnds preloaded

I found I still had 5 minutes left with my attempt. Lots of time to focus and regroup after busting a shot out of the black

I was rushed for time. I'll repeat after I put another 100 or so rounds of better ammo thru the gun and when I have the time to take my time

We practice with a 10 inch steel gong freehand at 100 yds at the camp with centerfires. This would be a nice challenge to keep up on the freehand shooting at a more economical price point.

Freehand?= offhand?

I've been working on the 5x5 @50m for a while and I'm just about there with my rifle, rests and my own technique. I figure I should be able to hit it on my next trip out. This will be a nice new challenge to try and I have 2 new semi 22lrs I'd like to try it with.

Shot 50-50-50 (50 shots, 50 minute, 50m) last Tuesday at our 'Bullseye shoot', but we shot 1x handed with pistols. 10" center on a 24" paper target, I kept all 50x in the score ring, 14x in the black with 4x bulls.

44/50 for an 88% with 2:25 remaining. Quite a lot more volume than I'm used too and didn't finish strong.
Oh and this was 50m but I doubt that made much difference.

 

[Brobee]

That is a respectable score!

I too find the tail end of the challenge much harder. My misses tend to be in my first, then mostly my last 5 round magazine. I had one run where is was clean until the last three, which I MISSED ALL THREE, from a combination of poor focus and fatigue.

How lame would it be to confess I’m imagining a core strength conditioning program for the muscles I am just learning about with respect to how they impact my standing unsupported?

Cheers,

Brobee
